GigTag for magicians and variety acts
They gasped, they clapped, and then they asked how to book you.
Magic and variety acts are booked from the moment someone sees you work. A GigTag on the table, the case or the stage gives that person a page with your videos, your next shows and an enquiry form, before the applause has finished.
- Photos and videos on one page
- Booking enquiry form
- Tips by card or Apple Pay
The problem
The best advert is the one nobody can pass on
You do a card trick for one table at a restaurant. The table next to it leans over and asks if you do private parties. You hand over a business card, and it goes into a jacket pocket and is gone by Friday.
Street performers, jugglers and living statues have the same trouble in a crowd, and so does a live painter or caricaturist with a queue at the easel. People enjoy the act, drop a coin if they have one, and walk away with nothing to remember you by.

A night with GigTag
Table magic on a Friday
The tag stands on a small card on the table where you are working. When the trick lands, you say the page has the videos and the booking form. Two people scan it before you have moved on.
A week later a company writes through the form about a dinner in November. You send a deposit invoice and the date is yours.

Questions
GigTag for magicians and variety acts: your questions
Can people request tricks or songs?
No. Song requests are for music acts. A magician's page is built around your videos, your shows, tips and the booking form.
Does GigTag find me events?
No. It is not a directory or a marketplace. It makes the people who already saw you, or were sent your way, easy to turn into bookings.
Is the tag distracting at a restaurant table?
It is a small card. Many acts leave it on the table and mention it once, at the end.
Do guests need an app?
No. They scan with their phone camera and the page opens in the browser.
